I am running Windows 7 RC and it has been working excellent for me. A few days ago I was sitting at the computer and I have no idea what I was doing at the time or perhaps more to the point what I had just done and my computer started to act funny.
Text on the screen was hi-lighted like I had marked the text for copy, cut or paste. My mouse acted odd. I did a re-boot and the computer still acted different.
I do not re-boot often but for the last day or two when I reboot I get the blue screen.
As you can see it looks like “maestro1.sys” is the problem.
“Description: File Maestro1.sys is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers. Known file sizes on Windows XP are 7,850 bytes (80% of all occurrence), 7,818 bytes.
The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The program has no visible window. It is a keyboard driver, can record inputs. The service has no detailed description. The file is not a Windows core file. Maestro1.sys seems to be a compressed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 59% dangerous, however also read the users reviews.”
OH yes, remember my G-15 keyboard had problems at that time and I hooked up a new keyboard and I installed a driver for it. I bet that is the problem.
Windows is fun fun all the time.
I am still sold on Windows 7 RC.
I need to see if I can fix this current problem.
Update: I was using an HP Multimedia keyboard. An old but nice keyboard and it seems to have been the last problem. I am now using an old white Logitech keyboard but I do not like the feel of the keys. The action on some of the keys does not feel right. The shift key, for one, feels a bit like it sticks. I got a feeling someone spilled something on this keyboard.
